Chapter 164: Refusal
"Miss, Steward Liu invites you in, he is already waiting at the door in person, I will place the stool, you can hold the arm of the maid of the palace and come down."
Lan Keman finally let go of a worried heart, she was worried along the way that if she came to Ling Wang's Mansion by such a reckless person, would it attract ridicule, and even more, would Ling Xingyue not want to see her again at all, after all, Ling Xingyue's decisive words, Lan Keman always remembered clearly, and hit Lan Keman's heart from time to time:
"I will never bother you again, I will erase all traces of what I have left behind, and you will never see me again."
Lan Keman didn't know how Ling Xingyue said to erase the traces he had left behind, and he didn't know if it was true that he would never see him again, so he was uneasy along the way, until the carriage arrived at the gate of this palace, until the moment, he learned that he could not only go to see Ling Xingyue, but also be greeted and waited by Steward Liu himself.
Lan Keman didn't think much about it, so he opened the curtain of the car, and saw that the little girl was walking towards the back of the car with a stool, and a rather clever and pretty little girl standing outside the door of King Ling's Mansion not far away was also quickly walking in her direction, and when the stool was properly placed, the little girl had already stretched out her arm, firmly supported Lan Keman's slender wrist fingers, and connected her to the ground safely, and then walked in front of the side, making a posture to guide the way.
Lan Keman didn't dare to raise his head, his eyes were lowered, staring at the pair of embroidered shoes with jade color decorated with green bamboo leaves under his feet, and followed his predecessors step by step, walking towards the steps of the gate of King Ling's Mansion.
"Miss Lan, please go this way, I am the housekeeper of King Ling's Mansion, you should have seen it before, this is my wife, she will personally lead you to our prince's courtyard, please!"
Lan Keman looked up in the direction of Steward Liu, and sure enough, he saw that behind Steward Liu, there was a very kind-looking woman, wearing a brocade embroidered hexagram and a mink short-collared coat, which looked quite rich, but no matter how demeanor or demeanor, there was a very low-minded and gentle sense of intimacy.
Lan Keman hurriedly bowed and whispered:
"It's so disturbing, thank you Steward Liu for coming to the door to greet me in person, and thank you Mrs. Liu for personally guiding me the way."
Mrs. Liu's eyes looking at Lan Keman seemed to have something more than the meaning of welcoming Lan Keman's arrival, but Lan Keman had no time to take care of it, and she didn't dare to delve into it, but after saluting, she followed Mrs. Liu through the corridors and gardens of the palace, and somehow, maybe it was because of Mrs. Liu's inconvenient legs and feet, and she walked for a small half pillar of incense until she arrived at the small courtyard where Ling Xingyue lived.
"Little Haozi, if you go back to the little prince, just say that Miss Lan Keman of the Lan family will come to visit."
Lan Keman was immediately surprised to find that Mrs. Liu did not directly lead her into Ling Xingyue's courtyard, but personally sent Lan Keman to the door of Ling Xingyue's courtyard, turned around and stared at her directly, and then slowly left again.
When Xiao Haozi walked from Mrs. Liu leading Lan Keman to the gate of the little prince's courtyard, he had clearly seen that it was Lan Keman walking behind Mrs. Liu, and he was also shocked, he had never seen this Miss Lan family, alone, and suddenly visited.
Thinking that Steward Liu also knew the little prince's intentions so he let Lan Keman in without informing, not worrying that Lan Keman was led by the little girl to walk in the palace alone, worried that they might run into Mrs. Leng Leng Qingqiu, so he personally sent it to Mrs. Leng who was inconvenient for her legs.
Xiao Haozi was already very clever, and he already knew the difference between the little prince and this Lan Keman, plus since the little prince returned to the house yesterday, he never left the prince's courtyard, nor did he ask anyone to go in to pass on the dinner, until this afternoon, at this moment, the little prince Ling Xingyue has not passed anyone into the courtyard, nor has he said that he wants to eat something, but occasionally he can hear the little prince practicing his fists and feet, and it seems that he is practicing martial arts.
Now seeing Lan Keman come to meet the little prince in person, of course the little man was very happy in his heart, and secretly thought:
"The little prince is finally saved, Miss Lan, you should hurry up and comfort our little prince, from yesterday to now, the little prince is not in the water, just blindly practicing martial arts and contacting fists and feet, if you don't come again, he has been going on like this, this person can stand it!"
Xiao Haozi first walked over and bowed to Lan Keman, gave a salute, and said politely:
"Miss Lan, please wait a moment, I'll go in and help you pass it on."
After speaking, Xiao Hao stopped knocking on the door to ask, and directly pushed the door in, and Lan Keman stood quietly outside the door alone.
Suddenly, the sound of a tea cup breaking came, and then after a while, I saw Xiao Hao flash out of the gate with his eyebrows lowered, and then gently closed the courtyard door again, before he walked in front of Lan Keman, with his arms folded, and did not look up:
"Miss Lan, our prince said, I'm tired today, it's inconvenient to see each other, and the diagnosis and treatment with your mother is also for the palace itself, no need to say thank you, just let you go back."
After speaking, Xiao Haozi was about to bow his head and leave, Lan Keman's chest instantly hit a burst of pain like a split, and in an instant, his heart, liver, spleen and lungs were like being stabbed, alive, dripping with blood, and he was directly thrown on the ground shockingly.
Lan Keman tried his best to stabilize himself, his fingers tightly pinched the corner of his clothes, the fingertips were already white, Lan Keman trembled and called Xiao Hao, and asked in a low voice:
"Where are you going? Is it because the little prince doesn't want to see me that he dropped the teacup? ”
Xiao Haofu stood again, turned around, saluted with his arms, and only answered the former question, but did not mention the answer to the latter question:
"I'll go get the punishment, Miss Lan, please go back."
Lan Keman was stunned, and the many overturning rivers and seas in her heart hugged her throat for a while, she couldn't breathe, Lan Keman didn't know what her expression looked like now, and she didn't know if her body was already trembling, she couldn't restrain herself, she wanted to bang on the door and go in and directly question Ling Xingyue, why did she treat herself like this, and she wanted to turn around and go back to the Lan family compound directly, never see Ling Xingyue again in this life.
"You are an unmarried woman in the boudoir, how can you come to visit the little prince directly?!"
A sharp and cold voice smashed into Lan Keman's ears at once, Lan Keman's body trembled, and his eyes were full of panic, and he looked up and saw a rather beautiful woman, turning from the corner of the wall, standing in front of him coldly.
